If you live in Texas, you know that fall doesn’t exactly mean pulling out the chunky sweaters and heavy coats right away. Our mornings start crisp, afternoons heat up like July, and evenings settle into the perfect patio weather. So instead of diving straight into heavy knits, this season is all about finding those transitional pieces that work with Texas temps — outfits that feel just as effortless for a sunny brunch in Dallas as they do for an evening football game in Austin.

At TYLER’S, we’ve stocked up on light layers, versatile denim, easy dresses, shoes, and accessories to carry you through the season. Whether your vibe leans laid-back, boho, sporty, or polished, the key is mixing pieces that layer easily without weighing you down. Here’s how we’re styling fall in Texas right now.

One of my go-to combos this season: Levi’s 501 shorts + a crisp white tee + a Marine Layer oversized pullover. Add sneakers for daytime, then swap them out for clogs in the evening. It’s the kind of look that feels casual but instantly elevated with the right accessories.

For an even easier swap, keep a light vest in the mix. Layer it over a long sleeve tee with jeans for a coffee run, then ditch the vest by midday. It’s practical without looking too bundled up.

Dresses That Transition Day to Night
Don’t pack away your dresses just because the season shifted. In fact, fall in Texas is when dresses shine — lightweight fabrics that breathe during the day and layer seamlessly when the sun sets.

A slip dress from Free People is perfect with sneakers during the day, then add a denim jacket when the temps dip. Midi dresses in earthy tones or soft florals also feel seasonal without being too heavy.

I love styling a Bella Dahl shirtdress with Adidas sneakers for errands, then switching into ankle boots for dinner. Add a crossbody bag and layered jewelry, and it’s basically the easiest day-to-night outfit formula you’ll ever need.

Shoes That Carry Every Outfit
Fall footwear in Texas doesn’t have to mean committing to boots every day. The trick is having a rotation of versatile shoes that pair with both shorts and jeans.

• Sneakers: Adidas Sambas, On Running, or New Balance — perfect for festival days, football tailgates, or just running around town.
• Clogs: The Birkenstock Boston is basically the shoe of the season. Wear them with Levi’s shorts and a long sleeve tee for daytime, then with cropped knit jacket for dinner.
• Boots: Save them for evenings and events. A suede Toms ankle boot or Kork-Ease Chelsea boots gives any outfit a fall edge without being too heavy.

Shoes really anchor your outfit, so having these three in rotation makes styling Texas fall so much easier.

Accessories That Make the Look
When the temps don’t allow for heavy sweaters or scarves, accessories do the heavy lifting. They pull your outfit into “fall mode” without adding bulk.

This year’s must-haves:

• Wide-brim hats (Wyeth or Brixton) for that effortless Texas-girl vibe.
• Layered gold jewelry for a touch of polish on tees and dresses.
• Crossbody bags (like Thread Wallets or Hobo) that are functional but chic.

One of my favorite tricks: take a super simple base outfit (say, Pistola shorts and a tank) and elevate it with accessories — a belt, a hat, stacked necklaces, and sneakers. Suddenly you’ve gone from casual to trendsetter-approved with almost no effort.
